The biggest problem I see when it comes to global warming (and countless other issues) is that there is no one place everybody knows to go to see the list of all the actual promising solutions to these kind of doomsday problems that need our support and financing.
I mean it seems like the biggest agenda right now when it comes to global warming activists is to just get everybody to accept there is a problem and/or exploit the fact that there is a problem to try and gain leverage and control over politics when it hasn't been proven that the public sector is more capable to address this kind of issue than the private sector is.
What I mean to say is how exactly does a carbon tax at the gas pump decentivize us from using gas pumps in the first place, when everything in history suggests that where there is a profit stream there is a benefactor willing to protect it no matter what? In other words, doesn't a carbon tax make the more liberal leaning political parties more dependent on fossil fuels if the taxes produced pay for other unrelated endeavors (e.g. medicare for all, canceling student debt)?
I don't mean to make this about politics because I respect the collected intelligence here enough to know that we can all agree we are the people who actually understand there is an actual tangible problem here, considering we're the lucky few who can actually do the rather straightforward math (co2 has a heavier molecular weight than everything else in the atmosphere therefore it knocks lighter molecules up and away and produces more temperature when the heavier molecules collide with each other more often due to there be more molecules present, i mean this is basic chemistry/physics 101), and know the consequences if we don't do something about it soon....
All I am saying is why aren't we personally doing more to try and solve this issue like it was any other issue?
I mean either we can figure out the solution, or literally the only alternative is we kill all the livestock, tear down all the structures made out of wood (that houses farting termites), and go back to horse back riding. (because as of right now there is nothing to indicate that Tesla can scale to our traveling/energy needs)
Realistically, we need to build a site that is heavily curated so it doesn't get heavily polluted with all the hack scholar noise and lobbyist confusion bullshit, and focus on this problem like the bug it is.
The fact that the ocean cleanup and paul stamets bee solution are both literally something I only luckily managed to stumbled upon because Joe Rogan is for whatever reason the "Bro" form that Christ chose to return this time as, shows that frankly were not doing our jobs. Literally a comedian is doing a better job at solving these kind of problems than we are right now.
Politicians aren't going to do a better job than us figuring out how to solve this issue so we really need to stop depending on them (they aren't smart enough, and none of us are willing to take on the burden of having to kill people in order to ensure a smarter class of politician is elected into office)
If we can do folding@home to simulate protein folding, we can do the same thing to figure out how to fix our carbon output problem.
Just saying. I want a website where I can go to figure out whats going on with paul stamets endeavor, whats going on with that thing Bill Gates was talking about where we use depleted nuclear fuel to make a new kind of reactor, whats going on with the ocean clean up, whats going on with the building sized CO2 suction thing in China, what is going on with fusion, what is going on with solar panel and electric car tech, etc etc.
One site, for everybody...
Were not going to be able to make every American care about this issue. They just aren't smart enough to grok it. And that means Government can't help us because they are bound to serving the will of the dumb idiot people who will never get on board with the reality that we all need to be go back to horses and vegan diets (therefore no politician will ever be able to push such hardcore measures, its a dead end.)
Which that fact alone also suggest we need an engineering solution.
If the solution is that we need to build a million building sized vacuums and a space elevator or pipe made out of carbon nano tubes, then that sounds like something we need to start doing NOW because that will probably take 30 years to build and every single tech corporation to take the first step and say "hell yes im going to put a billion dollars down on this idea".
All it will take is us coming up with an actual real solution and convincing every tech giant to drop a meager billion dollars on the crazy initiative, and then all of a sudden the rest of the world will be like "drkkkk wut r dey doin ober der O.O"????
And then they will be like oh shit this is an actual solution that doesn't require us to stop using fossil fuels. (though we probably should stop using them for the health reasons though hell crisp-r might solve that problem too?!)
Im just saying, we need to figure out either how to get the CO2 into space, into our oceans, or economically split back into C and O2.
